King Of The Castle

I'm the king of the castle

Get down you dirty rascal

Knock At The Door

Knock at the door

Pull the bell

Lift the latch

And walk in

L

Ladybird Ladybird

Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home

Your house is on fire and your children all gone

All except one and that's little Ann

And she's crept under the warming pan

Lavender's Blue

Lavender’s blue, dilly dilly

Lavender’s green

When I am king, dilly dilly

You shall be queen


Call up your men, dilly dilly

Set them to work

Some to the plough, dilly dilly

Some to the cart


Some to make hay, dilly, dilly

Some to cut corn

While you and I, dilly dilly

Keep ourselves warm


Lavender’s green, dilly dilly

Lavender’s blue

If you love me, dilly dilly

I will love you

Leaves Are Green

The leaves are green

The nuts are brown

They hang so high

They will not come down


Leave them alone

Till frosty weather

Then they will all

Come down together


Lillies Are White

Lillies are white

Rosemary is green

When I am king

You shall be queen

Little Girl

Little girl, little girl

Where have you been?

I've been to see grandmother

Over the green

What did see give you?

Milk in a can

What did you say for it

Thank you, grandam

Little Nancy Etticoat

Little Nancy Etticoat

In a white petticoat

And a red nose

The longer she stands

The shorter she grows


(Riddle - a candle)

Little Polly Flinders

Little Polly Flinders

Sat among the cinders

Warming her pretty little toes

Her mother came and caught her

And berated her little daughter

For spoiling her nice new clothes

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep

And doesn’t know where to find them

Leave then alone and they’ll come home

Wagging their tails behind them

Little Boy Blue

Little Boy Blue come blow on your horn

The sheep’s in the meadow, the cow’s in the corn

Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?

He’s under a haystack fast asleep

Will you wake him? No not I

For if I do, he’s sure to cry

Little Jack Horner

Little Jack Horner

Sat in the corner

Eating a Christmas pie

He put in his thumb

And pulled out a plum

And said, 

“What a good boy am I”

Little Jumping Joan

Here am I, little jumping Joan

When nobody's with me,

I'm always alone


Little Maid

Little maid, little maid

Whither goest thou?

Down the meadow

To milk my cow


(from a Mother Goose book, published by George Routledge & Sons, 1881)

Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet, sat on a tuffet

Eating her curds and whey

There came a big spider

Who sat down beside her

And frightend Miss Muffet away

Little Robin Redbreast

Little Robin Redbreast

Came to visit me

This is what he whistled

Thank you for my tea


Little Tom Tittlemouse

Little Tom Tittlemouse

Lived in a bell-house

The bell-house broke

And Tom Tittlemouse woke


Little Tommy Tittlemouse

Little Tommy Tittlemouse

Lived in a little house

He caught fishes

In other men's ditches


(from a Mother Goose book, published by George Routledge & Sons, 1881)


Little Tom Tucker

Little Tom Tucker

He sang for his supper

What did he sing for?

Why, white bread and butter

How can I cut it without a knife?

How can I marry without a wife?


(from a Mother Goose book, published by George Routledge & Sons, 1881)

London Bridge Is Falling Down

London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down

London bridge is falling down, my fair lady 


How shall we build it up again, up again, up again? 

How shall we build it up again, my fair lady? 


Build it up with silver and gold, silver and gold, silver and gold

Build it up with silver and gold, my fair lady


Silver and gold be stole away, stole away, stole away

Silver and gold be stole away, my fair lady


Build it up with iron and steel, iron and steel, iron and steel

Bulid it up with iron and steel, my fair lady


Iron and steel, will bend and bow, bend and bow, bend and bow

Iron and steel will bend and bow, my fair lady


Build it up with wood and clay, wood and clay, wood and clay 

Build it up with wood and clay, my fair lady


Wood and clay will wash away, wash away, wash away

Wood and clay will wash away, my fair lady


Build it up with stone so strong, stone so strong, stone so strong

Build it up with stone so strong, my fair lady


Stone will last for ages long, ages long, ages long 

Stone will last for ages long, my fair lady

London's Burning

London's burning, London's burning

Fetch the engines, fetch the engines

Fire fire, fire fire

Pour on water, pour on water


Lucy Lockett

Lucy Lockett lost her pocket

Kitty Fisher found it

There was not a penny in it

But a ribbon round it
